Description of problem: Changing the resolution is system-config-display does not change the resolution of the X server. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-display-1.0.45- Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run system-config-display 2. Change display size from 1600x1200 to 1280x800 3. Press OK 4. Log out and log in Actual results: The display size stays the same. The /etc/X11/xorg.conf has no mention of the display size. Expected results: The display size changes. The Display SubSection with the desired mode is written to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I had to manually add: SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection S-c-d did detect the 1280x800 after the manual change. But it would still not change the resolution.
BTW, bug 203220 and 205155 sounds very similar.
Fixed as of rhpxl 0.35-1. Please test and reopen if this is still an issue for you.
